❓ Is transportation provided?

We do offer transportation to and from 4K via our normal bus routes.  For more information about our busing, contact Kobussen at 715-861-1191.
 

❓ Can my child attend full days?

4K is a full-day program that runs Tuesday through Friday and follows the Cadott School District calendar each year.

For families who need additional care, Hornet Care is available on Mondays as well as before and after school on 4K days, for a fee.

❓ What if my child has special needs?

Children with special needs are welcome in our 4K program. If your child is currently receiving Birth-to-3 services, your existing team will help support a smooth transition into 4K.

Prior to the start of 4K, the Cadott School District hosts a Childhood Development Day, typically held in the spring. During this event, our staff complete developmental screenings and partner with families to discuss any concerns, answer questions, and ensure that appropriate supports, accommodations, or therapies are in place as needed.

Our goal is to work closely with families to help every child feel supported and successful as they begin their school journey.

To help your child have a smooth start, we’ll need the following completed:

• ASQ (Ages & Stages Questionnaire): This will be mailed to you after you register. Please complete and return it. You can turn in at open house or in the office at anytime.

• Original Birth Certificate: Turn in to the elementary office. We will record information from the birth certificate per DPI requirements and return the original to you.

• 4K Medical Forms: Fill out and return to the office. If your child’s birthday is shortly after school starts, you can complete these forms at that time—no need to reschedule your annual check-up. Forms needed are listed below:

  • Dental Exam Form  

  • Eye Exam Form  

  • Medical Exam Form 

  • Immunization Records

• School Supply will be updated yearly in spring: 25/26 Supply list
